Place <-> Activity is *not* a 1:1.

Its' hard to tell from your example how it'd better be done, so I'll
try to guess.

Case 1: you don't really have those widgets, but rather "placeholders"
where you'll put them on place change (what I call "display regions").
In other words, this is the layout of your app, at the "top level" of
your widget hierarchy
In this case, you'll have 3 ActivityManager, one for each display
region, and each one with its ActivityMapper.

Case 2: the DockLayoutPanel is the "view" of an activity, and you want
to subdivide it into 3 "subactivities". In this case, your
"docklayoutpanel activity" should probably instantiate and manage the
lifecycle of the subactivities itself; or maybe you shouldn't even use
the Activity interface for your "sub parts". The idea anyway is that
your "docklayoutpanel activity" *knows* the "sub parts" and manages
them, whether they're "just widgets" (or components composed of a
presenter and a view).

Maybe this can help you:
